Portobello Health Foods (The Grain Shop)

1. The food is absolutely delicious here! You can mix and match different dishes together. we tried the mac&cheese, lasagne, lentil pie, veg, potatoes & everything was absolutely delicious. It is an extremely comforting eat!

   Not to mention the price is so affordable! For under £10 you get a great sized meal!

   Also the service was 10/10, the man working there was lovely, answered our questions & filled our boxes to the brim🤣. Will definitely be going back!

2. There are so many delicious vegetarian and vegan options at a very reasonable price! We spent less than £10 per person and we still had food leftover to take home. If you are visiting Portobello Road and taking in the market, this is a wonderful option for lunch and not a typical spot for lunch. There is a small bar area available to eat-in but would be easy for a quick take-away. The ingredients in the different dishes was fresh and hot and beautiful to the eye. There were so many delicious choices that the lovely lady working there was incredibly helpful and made suggestions on what we should have. I would highly reccommend you stop in here for a fast and delicious meal.

3. My favourite nourishing vegan lunch is here ❤️❤️❤️
   Always fresh (freshest one in the morning at 10.30-11 am)
   Always healthy nutrient rich
   Always delicious with lots of different flavour to choose
   Full of vegan plant based protein
   Very affordable, cheap – good value for money

   We always take a family box and don’t cook for a day (a family of two)

   For those who want to turn vegan, loose weight or just eat more veggies and healthy foods- this place is the best option

4. Outstanding in every respect – excellent customer service & utterly delicious food. My mum was a good cook & said that the really good ones can take a vegetable & turn it into something special – the carrots, greens & mushrooms were the best I’ve ever eaten & complemented the macaroni cheese perfectly. I only wish I’d had room for cake so will leave that delight for next time.

5. Lots of options for food and it was very tasty. Although beware the middle aged lady who serves. There were no prices of the drinks in the fridge when I went in. She started discussion drink options and offered me a “freshly squeezed orange juice”. It sounded lovely as the weather was hot and I was very thirsty. She then pointed to an orange drink in the fridge and said it was that one (labelled). I was confused as I was sure she said it was “freshly squeezed”, expecting her to squeeze it or have done it herself. Anyway, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and placed it on the counter to purchase with my food.

   London isn’t cheap at the best of times but when you go to a vegan store in west London with fresh food, you expect it not to be cheap. I was a little shocked at the price but sat down and proceeded to eat. I checked my receipt to see what the prices were broken down and the tiniest bottle of orange juice that I have ever purchased was near £10!!!!! £10 for a miniature bottle of orange juice, that wasn’t freshly squeezed at all.

   I took it back to the counter and explained that I wasn’t going to pay that for what I received and she allowed me to swap it for something else (I think I got flapjack- which was nice), but then told me she wasn’t going to give me the difference in return because I paid on card. What the hell is going on here?

   It’s safe to say I feel conned by this store. I can recommend the food and baking, but just beware of hidden charges and the sheer rudeness and poor customer service you may receive.
